American Martial Arts
The Capoeira Institute is a non-profit organization with locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Berkeley, Oakland, Santa Rosa, Fairfax, San Rafael, and Petaluma. We are dedicated to creating and maintaining a level of excellence in technique, ritual, and tradition in the training and performance of capoeira.
Our method is a mixture of all methods. We incorporate into our training different aspects of capoeira: Regional, Angola, Miudinho, Contemporânea, and our own system of Capoeira Maneira. In Capoeira Maneira, we emphasize body expression with capoeira-related movements.
We take pride in our neighborhood and seek to promote the community with all of our neighbors. We sponsor health outreach, movie nights, kids programs, festivals and shows. In order to make our programs accessible to everyone, we offer family discounts to our students, and have scholarships and work-study available.
